EMEDEX is honored to be working in Haiti since 2008. Our projects are focused in the Northeast region of the country, providing expertise and support for the development of first response systems and improved emergency medical care.

EMEDEX members have helped to establish the first volunteer-based ambulance corps in the country, and have overseen an ongoing pre-hospital service in St. Elizabeth parish, the first of its kind in the country. More than 170 community members have been trained in water rescue, CPR, first aid and spinal immobilization skills.
